Roberts’ boyfriend, C...

Great players find a way to come up big when it matters most. And even though a number of Havre football players made big plays in Friday night’s win over Sidney, Nate Rismon and Dane Warp were the most impactful. Coming into the Sidney game, the Blue Ponies were in desperate need of a win. Fresh off a blowout loss to Miles City, HHS needed a shot in the arm and thanks to a 26-21 win over an Eastern A team with playoff aspirations, it got it. There were a lot of key moments i...
Fifth Avenue was teeming with people Saturday morning as local residents came out en masse to watch a parade that for 35 years has been the heart of Festival Days, an annual celebration of Havre life and culture. Spectators of all ages were out. Older folks wrapped in blankets lining sidewalks, and children sitting on curbs rushing to scoop up handfuls of candy thrown out by parade marchers. Others were sitting on lawn chairs flanking the streets or standing in scrums while...

The wheat sculpture created by Willard Vaughn stands on display Sunday in Havre after Melissa Kapperud of Gildford and Lorraine Verploegen of Havre were drawn as first- and second-place winners in a raffle held by Hill County 4-H. Kapperud will choose whether she takes the sculpture or a Howe Model 1500 rifle, with Verploegen receiving the other. Vaughn donated the sculpture to 4-H, which held a raffle to raise money to pay for building a new Chuckwagon at the Great Northern...
Shad James Huston, who this year withdrew from a guilty plea to embezzling funds from Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation, pleaded guilty Friday to a charge of failure to file currency transaction reports. Huston, a Havre business operator and former chair of the Havre Public School Board reported that his former business, a pawn shop, engaged in an exchange of currency of more than $10,000. At that point, a pawn shop would file a currency transaction report. Huston told investigators he may had filed two or three of these r...
Editor: The Montana Republican Party claims a First Amendment right to associate in a closed primary election where only registered Republican voters are allowed to cast a ballot. The Republicans can holler all they want, but if they don’t put it in writing — they have no such right. The U.S. Supreme Court said that political parties have a constitutionally protected right of political association under the First Amendment when the party states its associative rights in its rules [450 U.S. 107, 122(1981)]. So what do the Rep...
Editor: Each day I am honored to provide care to individuals who live, work and play in our community. Some of these individuals, who are our friends, family and neighbors, delay getting medical care due to having little to no money and a lack of insurance. With the passage of the Montana Health and Economic Livelihood Partnership Act by our Legislature, this could soon change. This was a bill filled with compromise and is a bill of hope for many. I applaud Rep. Bruce Meyers and Sen. Jonathan Windy Boy for their willingness t...

Saturday was not an easy day for the Montana State University-Northern football team. Spirits may have started high, both on the field and in the stands at Blue Pony Stadium for Saturday's homecoming game between the Lights and the UM-Western Bulldogs, but because of how good the Bulldogs are, it didn't take long for spirits too be dampened a bit. However, no matter how tough it is on the football field, everyone in attendance Saturday should have gotten an emotional lift...
CHENEY, Wash. (AP) — Jordan West threw for 410 yards and six touchdowns and Jabari Wilson ran for 188 yards and two scores to lead Eastern Washington to a wild, 55-50 win over Montana State Saturday. West completed 21 of 24 passes — setting a school record of 313.5 for passing efficiency — with Cooper Kupp hauling in 12 for 201 yards and three touchdowns. Despite racking up 667 yards, the No. 14 Eagles (1-2) didn't secure the win until Nzuzi Webster intercepted Dakota Pruko...
There’s no denying that the Montana State University-Northern Lights are in a slump offensively. And for the second week in a row, the Lights’ offense was kept out of the endzone and out of the uprights. The Lights followed a shutout loss at Rocky Mountain College on Sept. 12 with an offensive shutout at the hands of the UM-Western Bulldogs Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium. Needless to say it, wasn’t the homecoming game the Lights were looking for. Northern gained just five first...
The Havre High cross country teams may not have placed highly at last Saturday's Mountain West Classic in Missoula, but that doesn't change the fact that they got better. After all, they faced the most difficult competition they will face all season and they will only be better in the long run because of it. The meet, which welcomes schools from across the Northwest, is arguably the most prestigious meet in the state of Montana and it did not disappoint Saturday at its usual...
With two tough tournaments, on two tough golf courses, the regular season came to an end for the Havre High golf teams this past week. The Blue Ponies were in Billings on Thursday for the Billings Central Invitational, which was played at Eaglerock Golf Course, then HHS was in Laurel Friday for the Laurel Invite at the prestigious Laurel Country Club. And in both tournaments, the Havre High boys put up strong showings. In Billings, Havre placed third with a team score of 339....
The Havre High volleyball team has already proven to be vastly improved from a season ago. And Saturday in Lewistown, against a pair of non-conference foes, the Blue Ponies proved it once again. Traveling to Lewistown to face a pair of teams that they could meet down the road in the Eastern A Divisional tournament, the Ponies earned a split, falling to Hardin in four sets by the scores of 25-20, 24-26, 25-20 and 25-21, but defeating Laurel in a five-game thriller by the...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights were fired up for their homecoming game with the UM-Western Bulldogs. But, for four quarters, it was Western which seemed right at home at Blue Pony Stadium. The No. 19 Bulldogs capitalized on four MSU-N turnovers, and the stingy UM-W defense forced Northern’s offense to be shut out for the second straight week as Western won 44-2 on Northern’s homecoming Saturday afternoon. The loss dropped the Lights to 0-3 in the Frontier Con...
This past weekend was a busy one as far as sports were concerned in Havre, and one of the events that capped off another exciting Festival Days weekend, was the Glacier Nationals home-opener Saturday night inside the Havre Ice Dome. Unfortunately for the Nationals and their fans, the home debut did not go as well as they hoped as the Helena Bighorns, one of the top teams in the Frontier Division of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League, defeated Glacier 7-1. In front of a...
On an emotional night inside the Armory Gymnasium, on homecoming, in more ways than one, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights played some inspired volleyball. Unfortunately, they were playing that volleyball against the No. 6 team in the NAIA, and against the two-time defending Frontier Conference champions. Saturday night at the Armory wasn’t just a big homecoming match against Rocky Mountain College, but it was also the emotional and inspiring return of S...
For the Havre High football team, the Sidney game was not just another non-conference affair — it was a must-win game — not for playoff position — but for momentum and confidence. And after knocking off the Eagles, the Blue Ponies should have plenty of both. On a memorable night, in front of a packed house at Blue Pony Stadium Friday night, the Ponies started off Festival Days with a bang, as they beat the favored Eagles 26-21 in dramatic fashion. The win came on the heels of...
